Health Buzz: Teens Getting Drunk on Hand Sanitizer - US News and World Report

What ever happened to stealing your parents liquor then filling the bottle back up with water or tea? Even Vanilla Extract would be better. More of Darwin's greatest hits.

Kids generally don't have a ton of sense. Had hand sanitizer existed when I was a kid, I'd have likely drank it. I didn't even know you could drink hand sanitizer, thought it was isopropyl alcohol. Maybe parents should actually try watching their kids, won't ever happen tho.

They don't drink it straight. They use salt to separate and then drink. It's Ethyl alcohol in the ones they are consuming.

They've sunken to an all time new low.

Is life so bad for the American teenager that they feel the need to drink hand sanitizer to escape from it all?

This is what our culture has wrought. PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE! These kids are so mixed up they don't know up from down, right from wrong!

Disgusting!

I think it's totally absurd. I don't know why they go through such great lengths to get their socks off. What ever happened to simply asking an older brother for some booze? Now people are sticking bottles of vodka up their bums and choking themselves for a little rush.

Jeez, i'm 28 and I never even went that far, even when I tried to be cool. Ha.

Yeah. No other generation has ever gone to stupid lengths to get drunk or get high before.

Don't even get me started on the whole Bath Salts thing that was the rage last summer.

It's truly unbelievable.
